As we gather together this morning in person, we remain a Body of imperfect people who desire to walk in authentic, biblical community together as followers of Jesus. This special Sunday Morning Worship Gathering is purposed, FIRST AND FOREMOST, to glorify God who deserves every ounce of honor we can pour out AND encourage you through…

  • relevant teaching from the Bible,
  • reflective prayers,
  • meaningful worship,
  • loving and serving one another in deep, unifying fellowship,
  • a celebration of the Gospel-centered, Hope-filled communion.

We hope that you will leave both exhausted and refreshed, challenged, encouraged, and hopeful for tomorrow.

It is our great pleasure to have you here with us at C2. For a preview of what you’ll experience today, click…

Jesus loves people and wants to share in their lives (and they in His), and His people embody a culture of belonging as well. 

We are being conformed into the image of Jesus by being WITH Him, being LIKE Him, and DOING what He did. Through scripture engagement, accountability, and prayer, we walk TOGETHER in community for our own spiritual health and that of others. There are two venues where these keystones of authentic, biblical community are lived out:

MidWeek

MidWeek is a “hump day” for believers in authentic community to spiritually and emotionally refresh, recharge and share in life together. It’s designed for the spiritual health and fitness of those who desire to be conformed to His image and nourished in His Body. You can join us for MidWeek every Wednesday @ 6:30pm here at The Big House. Click below to learn more about MidWeek. Click Here to Learn More About Midweek.

CAREgroups

Every Covenant Partner is placed into an authentic, Biblical community called a CAREgroup. CAREgroups are a more intimate, next-level way to build genuine, lasting friendships that are rooted in mutual faith, hope, and love for Jesus. To learn more about CAREgroups, see your Deacon.

Jesus is a Giver, and His people embody a culture of generosity as well.

Like Him, we try to go above and beyond when it comes to giving to others of our time, energy, and, of course, our money. To love and serve our church family, our neighbors, our city, and our world is made possible through the wise stewardship of our Covenant Partners. We give because God has given so much to us. We choose generosity because it honors God and reaches more people.

Generosity Makes a Difference

MANY things are competing for your time, energy, and money. We live in a culture that is stretched to the max – not enough hours in the day, barely enough energy to get through the day, and too much month at the end of our money. Those who walk in loving obedience to Jesus live differently…they leverage differently…they love differently.

The Bible says in Matthew 6:24 that the top competitor for our commitment to Jesus is money. Leveraging who we are and what we have been given allows us to demonstrate that He is more important to us than material things.

When you give of your time, talents, and treasure to eternal things, you are tangibly making a difference in someone’s life. Marriages are restored, lives are healed, and people come to know, love, and follow Jesus into His Kingdom – here in Grain Valley and around the world. It all begins with a culture of generosity in the local church.

I Want to Serve

How to Give

Give Now

Jesus, who is One with the Father and Spirit, prayed that His disciples (and those that follow) might be ONE with the Godhead and with one another in the same way…so the world may KNOW who HE is, and that He loves us.

Like Him, we embody this culture of ONENESS. It is our deepest desire that the Word of God and the Spirit of God unite the people of God in perfected unity so the world may KNOW Him, LOVE Him, and FOLLOW Him into His Kingdom.

As Covenant Partners at Crossroads Church, we have made a covenant of ONENESS together, for the unity of the church, for the sake of the Kingdom, for the salvation of those who do not know Jesus. We demonstrate that ONENESS through…
  • a commitment to the five solas that guard and clarify the Gospel.
    • Sola Scriptura (scripture alone) – the Bible (Scripture) is the authoritative revelation of God in every matter – the ONLY infallible, sufficient, and final authority for the Church.
    • Solus Christus (Christ alone) – Christ alone is the basis on which the ungodly are justified in God’s sight. He is the only mediator between God and humanity.
    • Sola fide (through faith alone) – believers receive the redemption Christ has accomplished ONLY through faith, not by works or sacraments.
    • Sola gratia (by grace alone) – all of our salvation, from beginning to end, is by grace and grace alone. Salvation is a free gift from God, not something earned through good works.
    • Soli Deo Gloria (for the glory of God alone) – only God receives glory for the works of salvation in and through mankind.
  • A commitment to the biblical practice of Believers’ Baptism as the public declaration of repentance and faith in Jesus Christ and the receiving of baptized believers into the church’s fellowship from other churches of like faith and practice.
  • A commitment to the weekly practice of Holy Communion – believers SHARING (koinonia) as ONE in our remembrance of His body broken and His blood shed for us on the cross, our utter dependence on the death and resurrection of our Savior, and the reminder of our HOPE for His imminent return, declaring His death and resurrection until He returns.
  • A commitment to safeguard our fellowship with Jesus and one another. We are instructed to protect the flock from false doctrine and spiritual attacks hurled at us by the world, the flesh, and the devil. We do so through a fidelity to share in gracious hospitality, to love and pray for one another, and to walk in authentic biblical community and accountability through service, edification, repentance, forgiveness, and restoration.

Church Councils and Christian Doctrine: How History Shapes Our Faith

WEEK Six – WEDNESDAY, June 4th @ 6:30PM 
Led by: Robbie England

Description: A historical deep dive into the church councils from Nicea and beyond that have helped shape our core doctrines and beliefs. We will look at how the early church defended the gospel against false teaching. This is much more than a history class as we will also look at why we believe such key parts of our faith such as the Trinity, the deity of Christ, salvation by grace alone, and much more.
